parallel-n64 VS Retroid-Pocket-3-Plus-Wiki

This is a known issue with the N64 cores when launched via front-end. If you open the RetroArch Quick Menu the controls come back. If launched via RetroArch itself you'll get no issues

Nah, I believe it’s ‘parallel-n64’ libretro core. https://github.com/libretro/parallel-n64

It's an issue with the core when launched from a front-end. I talked about it, along with a few workarounds, here. It's been an issue as far back as 2016.

It's an old issue with the core on Android when launched via front end. Seems to happen on certain games.

Unfortunately there are other cores in the same situation, and I understand that it is a volunteer work, but what bothers me is that many times no one from the team even talks when a core is abandoned or no longer works on some platform. ParaLLEl, for example, is maintained by the RetroArch team and for RetroArch, and has been without updates on Android since 2020. They haven't even answered if there will be updates for the platform again. And this is just an example that I remember at the moment.

The thing is though, there's nothing that was stopping Nintendo to grab one of those emulators and use it themselves as most of them are open source, Sony actually uses an open source emulator on the playstation classic so the precedent is there, Nintendo could have taken one of those emulators and just improve on them: https://github.com/libretro/parallel-n64

According to the docs, mupen64 core doesn't support netplay. Somebody was also having problems with netplay on parallel-64 core. You may try what was suggested there, but it's possible you can't use RA netplay for n64 games.

It worked when I last tried it a few months ago

I also have settings I use in my wiki. Typically I start on fast default settings then config a game individually from there.

You can check my wiki for information on which consoles/handhelds/computers require BIOS or not

Here's a list of required BIOS, file formats used, and emulators/cores for each system in my wiki you can check out.

Here's a list of file extensions and if BIOS are required or optional. Can't help you on finding roms as it's usually against the rules

The dips are normal from what I've tried.

You check what systems require BIOS here. (Not the guide is for the + not the vanilla RP3. But file folders should be the same)

Here's my setup guide, wiki on file formats & BIOS required, & emulator settings .

Here's FruitLoops community sheet. I also have a wiki of PS2 games I've tested. I'm pretty sure there's another sheet but I don't remember the link

While this link is for the RP3+ you can find out what consoles require bios, file extensions used, and emulators.
